What better way to celebrate our adventurous women than with a selection of quotations about travel? These are all the quotes I wrote for inspiration on the inside covers of my very first travel journal, and I hope they are equally inspiring for you. As always, take them in whatever way interests you - not every story you write has to be about travel.
The rules are probably quite familiar by now, but here they are anyway:
1) Prompts are not exclusive. There is no limit on the number of people who may write about a prompt, and there is no need to claim prompts.
2) Post responses in the comments and include the lead character and your prompt in the subject line. If you choose a long prompt, you may use just the first few words.
3) Responses may be any length from a proper 100-word drabble to a multi-chapter epic. If the story is too long for comments, you may post it elsewhere and comment with the link.
4) There is no time limit for this challenge. I will return to index the responses in a week or so.
5) Please leave feedback, respond to feedback, and pimp this post around.
6) If your response is rated NC-17 or would require a content warning (for rape, graphic violence, etc.), you may post it in the comments here but you must include the relevant rating or warning in the subject line.
